The Newest Style Notes 'HILE our noses are sniffing the air hopefully these days for the fist signs of ever-welcome Spring, our thoughts are beginning to turn to a pleasant contemplation of all that Spring means. It means, for one thing, weddings, for a Spring never passed without its long and lovely procession of brides. It means, for another thing, for those of us who are out of the bride class, a general new lease on life, a freshened point of view, an awakening of interests. So to help not only those who are soon to buy gifts for the Spring’s first brides, but for those as well who have A PASCINATING TASLE DECORA- TION COMBINING WHITE METAL WITH BLUE MIRROR GLASS. ALL SKETCHES MADE IN WASH- INGTON SHOPS. the urge to add a few new and charm- ing touches to their own surroundings, we will suggest some of the existing and varied articles which may be pur- | chased for either purpose. What occurs to one first for a wed- ding present is something for the ta- ble. May we suggest, as a present which a bride will always cherish, the centerpiece and candlesticks which we have sketched. The round centerpiece is made of chromium with an exquisite blue-mirrored top, in which are holes for flowers—white ones, of course, to carry out the color scheme. A wire inside holds the flowers in place. The candlesticks which help to set off the centerpiece so well are graceful semi- | circles of chromium, on each of which | is clipped four candleholders. These | may be adjusted at any place along the semi-circle and any number of them may, of course, be used. The two semi-circles can be arranged in effective ways around the centerpiece, as any clever hostess will soon dis- cover. With blue candles matching the blue of the mirrored centerpiece, one can scarcely imagine a more charming table decoration. ‘With our minds still on the brides, we discovered what we thought would be a most practical gift and as per- sonal a one as a chinaware gift can be—two cunning individual baking dishes, one for the bride and the other for the lucky man. The little dishes are round, fat earthenware CHROMIUM AND GLASS COFFEE SET, WHICH MAKES AN IDEAL GIFT FOR THE BRIDE. bowls with brown pottery tops and set on brown pottery plates. The pot- tery, by the way, is of the pleasant and appetizing shade of baked beans. Another suggestion is for some- thing you might easily buy for yourself as well as for a bride. Have you seen the Robin Hood smooth and perfectly suited to novelty tableware. The By Margaret AWeekly a long, narrow salad bowl with a matching wooden fork and spoon, and a half dozen little round wooden salad bowls of the type which, for some reason or other, is always associated with porridge. FOR the very special gift you send a bride when she is the only daughter of your best friend, or which you receive yourself from your hus- band only after easing him into the idea for years, we suggest that you select monagrammed glassware. Could anything be more exquisite or more personal than fragile, graceful goblets, glasses, sherbets or plates, initialed in silver deposit, gold, enamel or frosted glass? There is, by the way, a shop in town which does this type of work exquisitely, with either a monogram or a crest, which plans 1 most effective pieces we noted were | special decorative schemes for a room or a house, and which exhibits, within | its own small confines, objects of very rare grace and beauty. A welcome gift for any bride | whether she will live in a 1-room flat or a 50-room mansion, is a small mahogany coffee table of very finely cut wood, with a separate glass top | to be used when coffee is being served. If you should decide on such a table, prevail upon another one of the| bride’s friends to give her the ultra smart coffee set we have sketched for you. The pot, cream and sugar, all very cylindrical in shape, are of that eminently satisfactory combina- tion, chromium and glass. They stand on a round glass tray trimmed with an inner band of chromium, and offer one ot the best combinations of the practical and the new we have seen anywhere. Another combiflation that is just as good as chromium and glass is co) per and cork. Illustrating the effec- A FLOWER-HOLDER OF MIRROR STRIPS AND NEW BOOKENDS WITH ALUMINUM SWIRLS. SOMETHING BRIGHT FOR THE LIVING ROOM. tive use of these two, we noted a cork cocktail tray with copper edges and handles, on which rest copper-banded glasses and cocktail shaker. Something as decorative and useful in its way as the cork and copper tray is a chromium ash monitor with a crystal handle shaped like a curled leaf. Nothing is a greater boon to a hostess than one of these attractive monitors depositing ashes and stibs when ash trays become full to over- flowing. y Perhaps what your living room or the bride’s, needs is one amusing touch, to show that it is entirely livable. Perhaps two large and woeful white penquins, effective either for book ends or for deco- ration would hit the right note, or perhaps some chromos would be more in keeping. They are coming back in all their glory, both the humorous ones and purely decora- tive, artistic ones. But the ones that went straight to our hearts were three small, stiff figures, more Victorian than the age itself, whose personality would best be suggested, perhaps, by the names of Cuthbert, Oscar and Belinda Anne. ANOTHER combination of the use- ful and the decorative is the ex- tremely effective set of book ends which we sketched for you. The long base is a dark green mirror, on which rest two large aluminum curls that spring back according to the number of books placed between them. They hold with equal security, any number from one to six. ‘There is a corner or a table in any What is this thing? ‘What is this red sauce that gleams invitingly on well-laid tables all around the globe?

An- other corner would surely welcome an unusually attractive wall mirror. It was large and round, with two small glass shelves across it, where the favorite tiny knickknacks of the house could effectively rest. We could go on indefinitely de- scribing the charming articles which crowd the gift shops, but we know that when you see them for yourself you, too, will catch some of the con- tagious enthusiasm which they in- spired in us.

Reddy had no intention of being the one to be hunted. He would travel fast and far that night to find some less dan- gerous neighborhood. He did just that. He relieved his mind by tell- ing his cousin just how stupid he thought him to be for needlessly arousing the anger of the farmer whose hens he had killed. “I am going right now, and if you have any sense at all you'll leave als,” sald he. Gray Fox grinned. “I was taught that it is never wise to run immedi- have dined on & fat hen it would be unwise for me to run now, especially as I see no reason for running. A pleasant journey, Cousin Reddy! A pleasant journey! And a full stomach at the journey’s end, seeing you were not smart enough to get it at the beginning.” With this, Gray Fox climbed up in the big tree from which he had come down. Reddy went without so much as a look back. He wanted to find a place where he would not have to share | the hunting with any one, especially | any of his own relatives. And he was firmly convinced that the place he | was leaving would be an unpleasant place for any Fox to be the next day. “Cousin Gray will have to lie low. If he doesn’'t he will be in for a lot of trouble,” said Reddy to himself. “Such a silly thing to do to kill all those hens! He'll find it out when it is too late.” ately after & hearty meal, and as I|. Early the next morning at daylight Gray Fox learned how right Cousin Reddy was. It seemed as if the piece of woods where he was was filled with hunters and Dogs. That farmer whose hens he had killed had called up all the neighbors by phone and proposed a grand Fox hunt the next day to rid the country of the killer of his hens. He was very angry, was that farmer. Do you blame him? “I'M GOING RIGHT NW, AND IF YOU HAVE ANY SENSE AT ALL. YOU'LL LEAVE ALSO,” S8AID HE. So at break of day the hunters gathered and the Dogs were turned loose in the woods near the place where the night before Reddy had fooled the farmer's Hound. They found Reddy’s old trail, but, of course, the scent was old and very faint and the Dogs could not follow it, although they tried hard. Then one of them found the scent of Gray Fox where he had passed an hour before and the hunt was on. At the sound of those voices baying on his trail Gray Fox had a sudden panic of fear. He had speed. but not the cunning of his Cousin Reddy. So for a short distance he trusted to his speed. He was making for a cer- tain big tree the lower branches of which he could reach by a long up- ward leap. Once in the tree, he made his way up to an old hawk’s nest. He had discovered it when he first ar- ered now there would He wished that he Meanwhile the were urged to find the tgcuu and mbdn( were beating about in the brush, ing to frighten him out.

Scoop out the contents with a teaspoon. Mash (add butter—half a tablespoonful for each potato), salt and pepper to taste and a generous amount of milk (one to two tablespoonfuls for each potato), beat until fluffy and pile lightly into the shells. Do not smooth the top. Arrange in a shallow pan or on a baking sheet. Bake in a hot oven for 10 minutes or until delicately browned. The stuffed potatoes may be brushed with egg yolk or sprinkled with grated cheese to make them brown more quickly. Heinz makes delicious soups hard to make 5 CREAM OF MUSHROOM SOUP takes skill and care in the making. Mushrooms must be carefully selected, picked over one by one, washed very clean, then chopped fine. Seasonings must be the finest and carefully measured. Cream must be sweet and rich, and the soup must be cooked watchfully at right heat and to the very minute. All these things Heinz does, and so Heinz Cream of Mushroom Soup is a rare and excellent treat—a perfect “party” soup: Itisa whole soup, all there, and because the mush- rooms are brewed rightinto the cream the superb flavor permeates every spoonful . . .

Psychologists are beginning to 80 into the causes of inferiority with & considerable amount of intelligence. Bome of their findings are worth con- sidering. It appears that parents and pupils pay too much attention to report cards. Report cards usually have little other than book significance, so far as the school is concerned. But these same report cards are likely to get mixed up with the emotions, the very moment they come up for family consideration. Wise parents should study them when the child is asleep, and then send them back to the “book-makers” without comment. Another thing: Children with av- erage abilties are often handicapped by the brilliance of their parents. Phi Beta Kappa parents should be careful with their keys. Such things have been known to be the source of all sorts of feelings of inferiority on the part of those who are sup) to parade as “chips off the old block.” (Copyright. 1935.) told us how!
